i share your annoyance with seeing the same names at the start of different careers with different boats.

i know that the names that are listed in the Crewmembers.UPC are NOT used in the game. The names are generated during Career-Start using the CrewmembersNames.upc.

the name-assignment process is proprietary within SH4.

However, i found that expanding the list of names generates more variance of the names. currently i have a couple hundred last names available and it seems as if i no longer get the same names in the same positions when i begin a career.
